Get to Know the Prop Maker Who Created the Stormtrooper

We're on the very cusp of the official release date for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and ahead of the launch, we get a glimpse into the making of one the most instantly recognizable components of Star Wars iconography.

Check out his story in the accompanying video, produced as part of the Artifacts series by the film publication Little White Lies.
